Instructions

Determine what type of sign will be installed. Road Signs can be warning, prescriptive,informational and prohibitive. In order to determine what type of character you need, perform an auto-movement analysis in the intended installation area. If you are at a loss in choosing the required sign, then ask for help from the regional traffic police department.

Make a traffic sign. This can be done independently or by contacting specialized companies that provide services to the public and enterprises for the production of metal structures. The installation of the sign can also be entrusted to a company specializing in these services.

Contact the traffic police department to get permission to install it.

Install the road sign according togenerally accepted rules - at a given distance from the road and in a certain area of visibility. It is important that when installing and manufacturing the sign, the rules that regulate the material for manufacturing are observed, determine the distance from the road, as well as its visibility zone. The sign to be installed should be 1.5-3 meters high, located in the zone of visibility of drivers and pedestrians on the side of the road. There is another way to install. Apply on the website of the traffic police. In the application you will describe the reasons why the sign should be installed in the place indicated by you.

Tip 2: How to learn the road signs

It is best to memorize road Signs In the process of studying the Road Trafficwhole. This occupation can not be avoided in the preparation for surrender to the rights, both independently and in a driving school. And your prospect of taking the exam directly depends on how much you are "friendly" with road signs.

You will need

- Traffic Laws;
- a computer;
- access to the Internet;
- Online tests on the theoretical part of the exam in the traffic police.

Instructions

If you study the Road Rules yourselfMovements are usually quite a couple of weeks of daily two-hour sessions. We can assume that the actual road signs in a pure form will take less time. But other parts of the rules can also be caught in the exam ticket. And on the road without knowing any of their essential provisions, there is simply nothing to do. At the first stage it is necessary to study the text of the rules, including the section on road signs, trying to remember as much as possible. It all depends on your memory, including the visual.

The best assistant in the study of theory is practice. But in this case we mean the practice of not driving (although it can not be avoided either), but taking the theoretical part of the exam. Online tests based on real exam tickets can be easily found on the Internet, in particular, on the websites of various traffic police departments. Among the questions there are some on road signs. Exam questions are an image of different situations on the road, and the examiner's task is to choose the right variant from the proposed ones. Often the correctness of the decision depends on which road sign is shown in the picture.

Start the passage of online tests can be at least withthe first day of studying road signs. In addition, unlike a real exam in the traffic police, you can make mistakes any number of times. But there is a hope that after countless errors you will start to choose the right options. In addition, after passing the test, the system usually shows the correct answer with a link to the relevant rule item. But on the real exam, while you make enough mistakes, you have nothing to do.

It is also worth remembering that in such a case asthe study of road signs, the possibility for additional practice is available daily. Some part of the time, any person who is not a driver spends on the road: in transport, a taxi, an acquaintance's car, just walking along the street along the roadway. All this is not a sin to use for additional self-examination: notice which signs are hanging along the way, and remember what each of them means. At first, it also does not hurt to carry the text of the Traffic Rules with you and compare each seen sign. But the further, the need for this will be less.

Tip 3: How to make a road sign

The first road Signs appeared together with cars. Their homeland is Paris, where in order to avoid accidents between horses and cars began to put special signs and inscriptions. At first there were only warning Signs, then they became more and more, due to the increase in the number of cars on the roads. Now their number is very large, and the usual composition was formed not so long ago, in the twentieth century.

Instructions

To make a road sign at homecan be provided with the necessary material and equipment. First, find a suitable support, on which the sign itself will be attached. It can be a pipe of small diameter, a wooden beam, or it can be simply fixed on available terrain reliefs.

Take a piece of galvanized steel and cut outthe right size and shape of the sign, for strength and stability, make two layers. Do not forget to make the fasteners on the reverse side, otherwise it will have to be done already in the finished product, which can significantly damage it.

The basis for the sign is coated with a retroreflectivefilm. Paste it on a dry and clean surface with no signs of corrosion. Additionally, treat with alcohol, for degreasing and better adhesion to the surface. The film can be applied to an uneven surface, with roughness and jaggies. A good and high-quality material will ensure the invariance of color in the daytime and at night. Clean the film with detergent solution in water. After washing, wash the film with water.

Put a picture of the road sign on the film. To do this, you can use a pre-prepared stencil or workpiece. The image can be made with the help of paint, or glued with a sticky tape of the appropriate color. After that, dry the sign, wipe it, and put it in the place where it should be.

Tip 4: How the first road sign appeared

In the old-old times, when there was nocars and public transport, people traveled by horse, ass, camel or walked. But they moved along the roads. And where the road leads, somehow had to know.

One of the first road signs - "Railway crossing with a barrier"

How to find out where to go and how much

Our ancestors came out of the situation very simply -They put big stones, broke branches, did notches on trees. This was the first road signs. In ancient Rome, the inhabitants went even further - they set up stone pillars along the roads and carved information on them. The distance was considered simple - from a concrete pillar to the Roman Forum - the main square of the capital of ancient Rome. In times of epic progress in Russia went even further. Do you remember a stone before the heroes or knights at the crossroads of the three roads? A lot of information is engraved on it. It is possible to consider this stone as a road sign. But not at all intersections there were stones (there are many roads in Russia - you will not get stones). And then like the ancient Romans people began to establish along the main roads mile pillars. The first dates from the 16th century, during the reign of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich. These pillars 4 meters high were installed on the road from the royal estate Kolomenskoye to Moscow. Peter I, of course, supported and developed the good initiative. The system of milestones began to spread gradually to all Russian roads. Then the pillars began to paint with black and white stripes, so that it could be seen both in the white day and in the black night. The name of the area and the distance to the next settlement were indicated on the versts.

When there were cars

This was quite enough until they appearedcars. Here already signs for drivers and pedestrians, giving them the necessary information, became simply necessary. A special Congress of the International Tourist Union gathered about the signs on the roads. And it was decided to make them all over the world united. Only how? If from the time of the Tower of Babel all the languages of the peoples of the world are different? In 1900, at last, all countries agreed that on road signs it is necessary to represent symbols, instead of letters to write. Symbols and foreigners are understandable, and illiterate. The first modern road sign officially and solemnly appeared in 1903 in Paris. But for a long time people looked at him as a curiosity. It should have been another 6 years until the installation of road signs became a system. They were placed on the right in the course of the movement for 250 m before the designated problem area. The first four were: "Rough Road", "Crossing Equivalent Roads", "Dangerous Turn" and "Railroad crossing with a barrier". Russia finally got road signs in 1909.

Tip 5: How to learn fast road signs

The future driver must know all the road Signs. They are remembered with time after regular trips around the city, so an experienced driver who graduated from a driving school many years ago, perfectly remembers all road Signs. However, to pass the exam in a driving school, they have to remember the pictures in the textbook.

Instructions

Divide All Signs in three categories: shape, color and image. According to the form Signs are round, triangular and square. By color - red, blue, white and multi-colored. They can be represented by a symbol, figure or figure.

Remember that all prescribing and prohibiting Signs without exception, have a round shape. These are the most important Signs, and they must be remembered first. A red color means no action at all. For example, a round red circle with a white rectangle inside, called a "brick" in the common people, means that entry is prohibited. A round white sign with a red border always prohibits further movement in the chosen direction. If anything is drawn on it, it means that the passage is prohibited only for the type of transport shown on the sign.

Remember that round Signs with a blue background refer to the category of prescribers. Follow the "instructions" depicted on them, you must. For example, if you see a white arrow on a blue background, you should only go where it points. This means that if the arrow on the sign "orders" to go straight, then turning to the right or to the left will be a violation.

Learn the meaning of triangular signs. They can be divided into two categories: one warns the driver, while others set the order of travel of vehicles at intersections without traffic lights. According to the picture depicted on the warning sign, the driver can easily understand what danger awaits him in front. This can be a railway crossing, a drawbridge, a steep ascent or descent, etc. As for the intersection of intersections, it is worth remembering that an inverted triangle with a red border instructs to give way.

Remember the information Signs. They, as a rule, have a square shape anddesignate pedestrian crossings, recommended speed, parking place, distance to populated areas, refueling points, etc. To decipher this sign, you just need to pay attention to the figure or number depicted on it.

Tip 6: Why do I need road signs?

Road signs are known since the time of IvanTerrible, but still cause questions among road users. But they are called to regulate traffic and ensure safety on the road. Imagine though for a minute that the road signs have been canceled. What then will begin on the road?

Without traffic signs, real chaos will begin. Well, how to get through an unregulated intersection, if all the drivers think that they are right? We need to negotiate with each other. And you can agree, say, blinking headlights, saying: "Go." Only some drivers blink associated with another action: "Break off, I fly". So they will stand and blink until someone dares to pass first. And this thought can come to mind at once to two drivers. And in the end - a classic accident at the crossroads. Of course, it is possible to regulate traffic at intersections by traffic lights. But you can not put a traffic light at each intersection, and some turn off at night. All complain - traffic jams, but the reasons for their occurrence lie not only in the fact that the machines every year becomes more and more. This means that more parking spaces are needed. A perfect place for some consider the roadway. Conveniently - parked to the curb, calmly go on business. Do not cut circles in search of a parking space. So it would be if you exclude the sign "Parking is prohibited." After all, it was invented precisely in order not to block the roadway, and is installed, as a rule, in places with increased capacity. Otherwise, many cities would have narrowed to one endless traffic jam. And how will pedestrians cross roads without a "zebra"? Yes, even on the "zebra" is often unsafe. But this is more likely from the general lack of culture and disrespect for each other. A pedestrian considers himself right, the driver - himself, someone did not notice, someone specially did not miss. But if you are extremely attentive and cross the road on a pedestrian crossing with security measures, this is often the only way to get to the other side of the street. But it is impossible to do this in a dense stream of cars, which are carried with unlimited speed (there are no signs). Let someone road signs seem absurd, there are also such. But in general they regulate not only the traffic, they are responsible for our life. The task of the participants in the movement is to be extremely attentive to them and to follow their instructions unquestioningly.
